Review: Toshiba RC500 500GB NVMe M.2 SSD - Value at 10 Cents per GB

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 11/28/2019 03:43 PM | source: | 26 comment(s)

We review probably the last Toshiba SSD ever, don't worry, merely a name change is inbound (Kioxia). None the less, meet the Toshiba RC500 fabbed under the OCZ label. A value proposition at NVMe PCIe 3.0 x4 performance in that 2 GB/sec range. The prices? How does this sound: 500GB for 59 EUR / 49 USD. Yeah, these are BiCS 96-layer alright.

SATA is dead, start pushing for SAS to be incorporated on consumer motherboards.

as long as ppl are still using OSs that dont have pcie/nvme drivers coming with it (install media),
sata will be around.
its also enough for most drives,and i can make boards requiring less lanes, than if all drives were running over pcie.
especially on smaller/cheaper boards.

I wouldnt really care, if sata top read speed would go past 500MB/s.
with nvme, at least the connection isnt the bottleneck anymore.

Not in capacity or price from what I been reading, then again that is probably still cheaper then ssd/nvme and m.2
